A large box of mass m sits on a horizontal floor. You attach a lightweight rope to this box, hold the rope at an angle θ above t

he horizontal, and pull. You find that the minimum tension you can apply to the rope in order to make the box start moving is Tmin. Find the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the box.

Answer:

The answer to the specified question will be "\mu_{s}=\frac{T_{m}Cos\theta}{M_{g}-T_{m}Sin\theta}".

Explanation:

Referring to the question,

\sum F_{x}

⇒  TCos \theta-F_{s}=0

⇒  T_{m}Cos \theta =F_{s}...(equation 1)

\sum F_{y}

⇒  TSin \theta+F_{N}=m_{g}

⇒  M_{g}-TSin \theta=F_{N}...(equation 2)

Now,

From equation 1 and equation 2, we conclude

⇒  T_{m} Cos \theta = \mu_{s}F_{N}

By substituting the value of F_{N}, we derive

⇒  T_{m} Cos\theta = \mu_{s}(M_{g}-T_{m}Sin \theta)

⇒  \mu_{s}=\frac{T_{m}Cos\theta}{M_{g}-T_{m}Sin\theta}

The static frictional force exceeds the kinetic frictional force, indicating that the static frictional force is over 1200 N. Explanation: The frictional force opposes the motion of any object on a surface, caused by interactions between the surface molecules and the object. It is known that static friction is typically stronger than kinetic friction (this is the reason initiating motion requires more force than keeping it moving along a surface). Hence, option 3 correctly describes the situation.

The magnitude of the electrical force acting between a +2.4 × 10–8 C charge and a +1.8 × 10–6 C charge that are separated by 0.0
kicyunya [2264]
To solve this problem, Coulomb's law will be applied as follows:
F = k*q1*q2 / r^2 where:
F indicates the force magnitude between the charges
k is a constant = 9.00 * 10^9 N.m^2/C^2
q1 = <span>+2.4 × 10–8 C
q2 = </span><span>+1.8 × 10–6 C
r represents the distance separating the charges = </span><span>0.008 m

By substituting these values, we derive:
F = (9*10^9)(2.4*10^-8)(1.8*10^-6) / (0.008)^2 = 6.075, which rounds to 6.1 Newtons

The equation for the change in the position of a train (measured in units of length) is given by the following expression: x = ½
Keith_Richards [2263]
(B) (length)/(time³) Explanation: The term x = ½ at² + bt³ should meet dimensional consistency. This means that both bt³ and ½ at² must share the same units, which are length. To find the dimension of b, we rearrange the equation: [x] = [b]*[t]³ leads to length = [b]*time³, hence [b] = length/time³.

To determine the height of a flagpole, Abby throws a ball straight up and times it. She sees that the ball goes by the top of th
Softa [2035]

Answer:

H = 10.05 m

Explanation:

The stone reaches the top of the flagpole at both t = 0.5 s and t = 4.1 s

therefore, the total duration of the upwards motion above the peak of the pole is provided as

\Delta t = 4.1 - 0.5 = 3.6 s

now we have

\Delta t = \frac{2v}{g}

3.6 = \frac{2v}{9.8}

v = 17.64 m/s

this indicates the speed at the flagpole's top

at this point we have

v_f - v_i = at

17.64 - v_i = (-9.8)(0.5)

v_i = 22.5 m/s

the height of the flagpole is stated as

H = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}t

H = \frac{22.5 + 17.64}{2} (0.5)

H = 10.05 m

Violet light (λ = 400 nm) passing through a diffraction grating for which the slit spacing is 6.0 μm forms a pattern on a screen
Maru [2360]

Answer:

The third-order dark fringe

Explanation:

y = Distance from central bright fringe = 204 mm

λ = Wavelength = 400 nm

L = Distance from screen to source = 1 m

d = Slit spacing = 6 μm

tan\theta =\frac{y}{L}\\\Rightarrow tan\theta =\frac{204}{1000}=0.2012^{\circ}

dsin\theta=m\lambda\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{dsin\theta}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{6\times 10^{-6}sin0.2012}{400\times 10^{-9}}=2.9982\approx 3

The order of the fringe is 3

Thus, it’s identified as a dark fringe.
